But his chances of becoming an MP are low (Labour only had 12.3%
of the vote last time)

"Slim to none" is a more realistic description.

However, prospective MPs have to "earn their wings" contesting
impossible seats, before being offered a safe seat some years later.

Yes, and by standing, he'll split the pro-Remain vote, thus pretty much
guaranteeing that Zac keeps his seat; otherwise the LDs might have had a
chance of winning the seat back.

Well, I was wrong. The LD won, and Wolmar lost his deposit. He obviously
had no chance of winning, but 1515 votes (4%) was a derisory result. He
should stick to writing railway books and articles.

Zac lost by 4%. Will be interesting to see if any Remoaners start a grassroots
campaign on Twitter to call for a re-run "because its too close" and "what about
the 45%"? I mean they will won't they because they believe in democracy
regardless of the result, not because they're a bunch of mealy mouthed stinking
hypcrites who only like democracy when they get their own way and are utterly
full of it?

Obviously, those who voted Lib Dem were lied to so the by-election must be rerun G
